Special safety instructions.

This double-insulated power tool is equipped with a polarized plug (one contact is wider than the other). The plug will only fit into the polarized socket outlet in one position. Turn the plug if it does not fit completely into the socket outlet. If the plug still does not fit, have a qualified electrician install a polar- ized socket outlet. Do not modify or alter the plug under any circumstances. Double-insu- lated power tools neither require a three- core power cable nor a power connection with ground contact.

Operate the power tool only off of power sup- plies whose voltage and frequency values correspond with the values on the type plate of the power tool.

When operating the power tool in a damp environment, it must be connected via a ground-fault circuit interrupter (g.f.c.i.).

Using special rubber protective gloves and footwear increase your own safety.

Use clamping devices or other suitable means to secure the workpiece to a firm sur- face. Holding the workpiece by hand or pressing it against your body is not suffi- cient and can lead to loss of control. Before mounting or replacing application tools or accessories, pull the power plug. This preventive safety measure rules out the danger of injuries through accidental starting of the power tool.

Hold the power tool by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing operations where the application tool could contact hidden wir- ing or its own power cord. Contact with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and shock the operator.

Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an electric shock.

Do not direct the power tool against yourself, other persons or animals. Danger of injury from sharp or hot application tools.

For all work or when changing application tools, always wear protective gloves. Danger of injury from the sharp edges of the appli- cation tools. Application tools can become very hot while working. Danger of burns!

Grasp the power tool in such a safe manner that your body never comes into contact with the application tool, especially while working with application tools such as saw blades or other blades pointed toward the grasping range. Touching sharp tips or cutting edges can lead to injuries.

The power tool is not permitted for opera- tions or working with water supply. Water penetrating the motor casing can lead to electric shock.

Do not rivet or screw any name-plates or signs onto the power tool. If the insulation is damaged, protection against an electric shock will be ineffective. Adhesive labels are recommended.

Do not use accessories which are not specif- ically designed and recommended by the power tool manufacturer. Safe operation is not ensured merely because an accessory fits your power tool.

Clean the ventilation openings on the power tool at regular intervals. The motor blower draws dust into the housing. An excessive accumulation of metallic dust can cause an electrical hazard.
